Do not feel capability dismissal was appropriate

Q: I was called to a meeting on Friday with the vice president and sales director present. I was told that I was no longer required as part of the team due to them receiving poor feedback. I was offered six weeks’ pay and two weeks’ tax free holiday. I have an excellent track record and feel that there is no basis for capability dismissal. I have been offered £250 to see a solicitor about the compensation. What shall I do?

A: You must ask your employer for more cash to see a solicitor. If it is the case that there is no basis for a dismissal then you may ask for more cash to see a solicitor. You could also look to demand better terms for your compensation.
